A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 20
Chapter Twenty
I sighed internally. There was only one option.
As much as I wanted to hate my pack and condemn them for turning on me in my past life, a part of me would always see myself as their caretaker, as their Luna. By remaining silent, I would be forcing them
into a fate where some would lose their loved ones. I wouldn‘t be able to remain silent living with that knowledge.
“With all due respect, I believe the Gamma‘s plan may backfire tremendously,” I started.
I could see Oliver‘s face frown, looking as if he wanted to have another outburst, but he contained himself.
“The tax could hold us in a very precarious position if others wished to join the Jade Moon pack. Alone, they may be a weak and insignificant pack, but we would be underestimating their ability to rally forces if we were to go about this wrong. We could be looking at an uprising from several of our allied territories. Why else would they start by picking off just an unranked girl? They wanted us to retaliate savagely for the injustice.”
Oliver scoffed and everyone looked at him expectantly.
“Oh please, don‘t look at me like that,” he said, laughing. “I‘d like to remind you all that you‘re listening to a fourteen year old right now.”
“Gamma, you will be quiet and listen respectfully,” Tytus ordered.
We could all hear the Alpha tone in his voice and I did my best not to smirk at the look of submission Oliver gave.
“Please continue, Aria.”
I nodded my head to the Alpha.
“I believe that our best course of action is one of peace as much as possible. By going in and attacking without mercy, we will risk accidentally killing innocents as well as losing some of our own pack members in the process. This brutal force strategy will only turn their pack into a martyr for others to
follow. No, a quiet approach is definitely required here.”
Tytus raised an eyebrow. “What do you propose then?”
“For starters, we cut off their supply routes and box them in, using their mountainous terrain surrounding them to our advantage. The landscape would make for a difficult battle head–on since they know the area well, but sealing off their exits would be very easy.”
“Wouldn‘t this have the same negative reputational effects as meeting them in battle head–on?” Tytus asked.

I said and smiled. “But, if he wants to avoid a direct war with one of the largest packs in the country, he would need to at least hand someone of value over to take the blame. If it‘s the large brown wolf you have in your custody currently, I‘d wager he is either the Gamma

Someone blessed by the Goddess herself could not be convicted of a crime so easily once our mark was confirmed by the Elders, this being due to the fact that we become known as a “Saint” or “Saintess“.
